Recipe Introduction

List of Ingredients

1/2 cup light butter (butter or margarine) softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup plain yogurt, sour cream, buttermilk, or milk
1 cup diced pears, take skin off
1 tsp vanilla


Recipe

Cream butter and sugar. Then beat in eggs, one at a time. Mix together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda & nutmeg. Add alternately to creamed mixture with yogurt (or what ever you choose - I like buttermilk). Stir in pears and vanilla. Spoon batter into one 9x5" or three mini (5 3/4x3x2 1/8") loaf pan(s). Bake in a preheat 350° oven for 55-60 minutes for the 9x5" pan or about 32-38 minutes for the mini loaves. Bread is done when toothpick tests done and nice & golden brown on top. This bread freezes beautifully.

My Notes:
I throw in a few (1/4 cup) dried cranberries. The mini loaves make for nice gift giving during the holidays.
